The hard part of learning to fingerspell is not learning the forms, but learning to read and sign them at the speed that a native speaker would actually use.
Fingerspell Flashcards is a new online flash card system to learn and build proficiency in Fingerspelling, both spelling out words and reading words that other people sign to you.
With Fingerspell Flashcards, you can
- Learn fingerspelling.
- Practice in your language.
- Practice with or without displaying the corresponding text
- Learn the signs. You can display the entire alphabet. Position the mouse over a letter and see the corresponding sign. Complex signs, like j and z are displayed with an animation
- Build proficiency - you can see a random word finger spelled. If you understand it, show a new word. If you are not sure, repeat it. If you need confirmation, display the word as text.
- Build speed - chose from Beginner (Each character is displayed 1.5 seconds) to "Deaf" (each letter is displayed about 1/2 second)
Presently the FingerSpell Flashcards support:
- ASL — American Sign Language
- DGS — Deutsche Gebärdensprche/German Sign Language
- DSGS — Deutsch Schweizer Gebärdensprache/Swiss German Sign Language
- LSF — Langue des Signees Française/French Sign Language is in preparation.
Others languages can be supported on request.
You can find out more about it on the website or just try it out.
In any case, have fun!
